Special equipment

Instant Pot

Mega-sized pot

Steps

  1. Boil up a big pot of water. Remove fatty bits from bones.
  2. Blanch bones for 5 minutes.
  3. Scrub again and remove all the bone fragments & coagulant stuck in there
  4. Place everything in first part of ingredient list in instant pot. Barely cover with water.
  5. Cook for 45 minutes ("broth/high pressure" setting). Let the Instant Pot "natural release"

(time to go do something for an hour)

  1. Get the mega-pot out and throw in everything in the second part of the ingredients
  2. Pour in the bone-broth from the instant pot (clean it immediately, because rice will need to be made)
  3. Cut the shittake mushrooms! (don't forget)
  4. Boil the mega-pot until the potatoes have softened, probably 20-30 minutes, add some salt to taste... everything up 'till now could be made ahead of time and cooled down
  5. Put in the rest of the ingredients (third part) and boil for 5-10 (until ready to serve)
  6. Serve with rice and kimchi.
